Ad Rotate + Geo Targeting?

by muchacho

I'm currently using the WP plugin 'Ad Rotate' which does the basics quite well... however, what I'm wanting is for ads to not only rotate but also only show an Ad if it applies to that visitor's country.

Now, the 2nd best thing to do is by using a PHP geo target script which will redirect them to X number of landing pages depending on their country - however, this isn't ideal as you'd need to make sure the ad being shown on your site applies to all of the CPA offers which make up all of those countries.

Ideally what I want is if 4 ads are being rotated 25% of the time, yet 3 of them are only open to USA visitors and the 4th is open to UK visitors, if 20 people from America visit the site in a row, only 3 ads will be rotated between them - the UK ad won't be shown at all.

Any suggestions or possible code edits?

    Remember that free geotargeting scripts are not 100% reliable.

    Which kind of ads are you talking about? Banners? Text? Redirection to a website?

    I am using some jQuery for that tasks.

    If you are interested send me a PM, then I can give you the URL to show you an example.

      Yeah I appreciate the fact they're not always reliable, but I think it's still better than ads being shown regardless of which country they're from. It'll surely increase the CTR + conversion rate.

      As things stand I'm using 300 x 250 ads on my right sidebar - 3 shown equally throughout the day for the UK. Fortunately, about 35% of my visitors are UK based, but that still leaves plenty to use other CPA offers with.

      It also needs to work on a rotation basis, not just a static image that redirects after they click it - I can already do that via a PHP script.

      I'm wondering if AdPeeps will do what I want. It seems to have both rotation and geo target

    I have made an interstitial ad script with ad rotation and geolocaction with javascript.

    Check out geoplugin.com on smart-ip.net... I am working with both of them (jQuery).
